What Must You Minister to?
Daniel 1:8~9 But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs

The arrival of the “international age” has further opened the doors for an age of multiethnic people, as well as the age of TCKs(Third Culture Kids). Evangelists must open their eyes to see this. When you encounter TCKs, you must think that the meeting is the “only and last opportunity” to relay the Gospel to them. This will become an eternal opportunity if TCKs realize the Gospel and become committed workers. You must place this in your heart when you do TCK ministry. What kind of ministry must you do?
1. Healing Scars
The fact that the Israelites were enslaved, held as captives, faced wars, and were colonized became invisible scars for them. In the same way, immigrants, refugees, and North Korean defectors all have great scars. Thus, you must be able to heal those scars. If those scars are left as is, they will transform into spiritual problems and eventually remain as traumatizing events that become their imprints, roots, and nature within their hearts and minds. However, always keep in mind that the only way to heal those scars is by God’s Word. You must confirm and find the Word and heal those scars within the Gospel.
2. Discovering Strengths
Joseph, who was a TCK, saved Egypt and the entire world. You must accurately inform these TCKs of their identities. They no longer need to search for their identities regarding, “Who am I?” and “What country am I from?” because TCKs are children of God. All the processes become the TCKs strengths when they are aware of that fact. TCKs already possess strengths in speaking languages which can be used immensely for world evangelization. Plus, they have already experienced different cultures. Without realizing, they already possess vessels that can embrace globalization. Thus, God has called them as “those who remained, those who remain, those who will remain, and those who will leave behind.”
3. Complete Evangelization
You must help TCKs so that they become completely evangelized. It shouldn’t matter how old they are. You must help them so that they are raised as those who make the proper resolution before God(Daniel 1:8~9). Also, you must raise them so that they enjoy God’s will. Even if God had not rescued Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from certain death, they still would have made their confessions of faith by refusing to bow down before idols(Daniel 3:8~24). Like so, you must raise TCKs to be those who relay God’s will to the entire world(Daniel 6:10~22).
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, open my eyes so that I may see TCKs who are residing in my field. Heal them through Your Word and may they become centered on the Gospel.
